I read all of the James Bond books when I was about 11, which was approximately the right time to read James Bond books.

Winston ChurchillI remember talking with Arcade Fire after their first record, when they were getting all kinds of offers from major labels, and I don’t think I gave them any advice. They survived that whole onslaught pretty well anyway without me.

Stephen HawkingI have an expression I use as I’ve gone around the world through my career: ‚You never tell another man or woman what’s in their interest. They know their interest better than you know their interest.‘
Joe BidenI want to look my best for God. So many people have the attitude that if you’re a Christian you’ve got to dress bad, wear an old color, not do anything to your hair, have nothing. It’s no wonder that Christianity is not very attractive. I mean, how many people do you know in a Western culture that’s going to go, ‚Yeah, give me some of that?‘
Joyce MeyerWhen we are well, we all have good advice for those who are ill.

Vivienne WestwoodEven with cameras being very cheap, one thing that researchers noticed was that you look really bad in a videoconference image because the lighting is bad and you get shadows and things.
Bill GatesIt is not once nor twice but times without number that the same ideas make their appearance in the world.
